Last call should arrive two hours later for Republicans than Democrats at their national convention, giving GOPers more time to celebrate or down their sorrows.

Minnesota’s legislature has approved a bill allowing municipalities in the Twin Cities to extend their bar hours to as late as 4 a.m. – but only for the Sept. 1-4 Republican National Convention. Twin Cities bars now close at 2 a.m.

It’s less certain if the other Twin City, St. Paul, will follow suit. In April, its city council voted 4-3 against a resolution asking the legislature to take action, according to reports in the Twin Cities media.

“It would be nothing short of a nightmare,” council member Dave Thune told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune at the time. He added that he wanted to spare residents of his downtown district the sight of “puking Republican lobbyists” in the streets.

1. Wonder if we'll have to import more hookers, too?

4. Knowing the repukes...

and considering their aggregate arrest record over the last eight years, I would expect they will be sending out for rent boys, barnyard animals and orphaned Myanmar children.

6. Count on it.

The Twin Cities will be full of 'em.

Like there's not already a brazillion of them there, anyway.

I have spent enough time there to know that much, anyway.

2. LOL

the sight of “puking Republican lobbyists”

It's a comforting, if not a repugnant image.

3. Let the poor things...

Get snot-slingin', commode-huggin', elbow-scrapin' drunk if they have to. It's not as if things aren't grim for them, after all those expectations of controlling the country for generations.

Let 'em get shitfaced and cry about how Dear Leader fucked the dog.
